Hi everyone, I have a question - do you think the DFrobot digital vibration sensor:

suitable for this type of application?:

Specifically, I mean detecting the work (vibration) of such a feeder, and I do not want to push into "industrial costs". I am not interested in the specific value of these vibrations, I just need the information "vibrations / no vibrations".
I initially plan to integrate it with some small Arduino, a relay module (signal further to control) and battery power. I take into account the possibility of sensitivity to interference (hence the idea with a battery), but above all I am interested in whether such a sensor is suitable for such a feeder.

How will it be with the life of such a sensor? Let's assume that vibrations occur 100 times per second, it comes out to me that the system will withstand about 100k seconds or about 28 hours of continuous operation. Or maybe in this case (feeder oscillation period 100 times per second), another acceptable limit for duty cycles should be adopted?
